How do you increase engine power using the throttle?
- A.Push the left handgrip forward
- B.Roll the right handgrip toward you
- C.Press the right foot pedal harder
- D.Squeeze the left lever toward the grip
Correct answer
B. Roll the right handgrip toward you

The throttle is the right handgrip, and rolling it toward you increases power. Smooth throttle control is essential because abrupt changes can upset traction, especially in turns or on slippery surfaces.
